Phoibos, Champion of Ares

Phoibos, Champion of Ares (died 431 BC) was the King of Corinth at the time of the Peloponnesian War.

Biography
Phoibos was the King of Corinthia during the mid-5th century BC, and he was a strong ally of Sparta at the time of the Peloponnesian War. Corcyra's revolt against Corinthian rule and Athens' intervention on the side of Corcyra led to Corinth and Sparta declaring war on Athens in 432 BC, and Corinth contributed large amounts of soldiers to the Peloponnesian League case. It was said that Phoibos would pick up boulders with ease and throw them onto unsuspecting enemies below. His strength was unrivaled and his fearlessness made him an easy choice to lead.

Death
By 431 BC, Corinth was vulnerable, as the Cult of Kosmos under The Monger had taken control of the streets and turned Corinth into a crime-infested city. One night, Phoibos headed to the Temple of Aphrodite on the Acrocorinth to pray for support, and he brought his elite guards with him. Coincidentally, the mercenary Kassandra headed to the Temple to find the hetaerae (courtesans) and find out what they knew about The Monger. As she approached the Temple, Phoibos' guards were alerted and attempted to attack her, fearing that she sought to assassinate Phoibos. This ironically led to Kassandra cutting through the guards and murdering Phoibos on the temple steps, and she went on to slay several mercenaries, vigilante civilians, and Monger thugs at the same spot over the course of several hours.
